horse before you hurt yourself?

a big exit

One of those men reminded me

of your grandpa God bless him

Garry, listen to me

How could you break my lock?

I came in here because I

was afraid you were on drugs

Why would you think that?

Because of what you did

to your father's offices

initials burned into the handle

Someone must have taken it

advice for both of us

or somethingg

I told him that's what little

dudes do We've all done it

That made him happyo

Garry was happy?

I guess a boy Garry's age

really needs a man around

it depends on the man

I had a man around

He used to wake me up in the morning

by flicking lit cigarettes at my head

"Hey, a**hole, get up

and make me breakfast"

You know, Miss Buckman, you need a

license to buy a dog or drive a car

Hell, you need a license

to catch a fish,g

but they'll let any

butt-reaming a**hole be a father

pick up Julie They're hassling her

about her hairl

She does look

kind of stupida
